Nevada has some of the most stringent laws of all the states when it comes to Battery Domestic Violence. It is then no big surprise that many folks, tourists and locals, end up being arrested for domestic violence. In the vast majority of these cases, unless cash bail or a bail bond is posted quickly, the defendant will stay in jail for several days.

MISCONCEPTION #1: Often if you or a loved one is involved in a domestic "situation" and he or she is arrested, you will not have a clue on what to do. Often, to diffuse a possibly volatile situation, the arresting police officer (usually the Metropolitan Police Department in our jurisdiction) may let the remaining family member(s) that the defendant will merely go to jail to "cool off" for 12 hours and then he/she will be cut loose. That is simply not true. Nevada law does mandate the arrestee remain in jail a minimum of 12 hours, but unless he or she posts bail (usually $3,000 for a first offense), the person will remain in jail for days.

MISCONCEPTION #2: Many folks have the assumption they can just go to the jail after a loved one is charged with battery domestic violence and simply pay 10% to them and that will suffice. Again, that is simply untrue. The jail will in fact take the bail directly but only for the ENTIRE amount. Who really wants to pay the jail $3,000 in cash and wait months to get it back? A bail bondsman can do the bail for a lesser percentage, but the state of Nevada makes bail bondsmen in Las Vegas charge 15% of the full bail. It is illegal to charge more or less than that 15% amount. We are all too happy however, to offer payment plans, so if you have $300 to put down on a $3,000 bail bond amount, we'll take care of you and be flexible! Pay us the balance when it is convenient for you. NO ONE offers more liberal payment plans for bail bonds in Las Vegas than we do at A Hope Bail!

MISCONCEPTION #3: Some believe that it is more important to hire an attorney right away at the expense of hiring the bail bondsman. That can be a huge mistake. Many times in Nevada the DA does not file formal charges for domestic battery cases. Since the law mandates that one or more parties must be arrested and booked into jail after a domestic dispute, some folks are incarcerated in a Las Vegas jail without the state being able to show probable cause that a crime was committed. As a result, these cases get dismissed or "denied" often. Step 1 should always be to post bail and fight that case from the outside!STILL CONFUSED?
